copied from the cgo input files. Functions with multiple
return values are mapped to functions returning a struct.

Not all Go types can be mapped to C types in a useful way.
Go struct types are not supported; use a C struct type.
Go array types are not supported; use a C pointer.

Go functions that take arguments of type string may be called with the
C type _GoString_, described above. The _GoString_ type will be

//
// The table's lower portion shows specialized features of each format,
// such as supported string encodings, support for sub-second timestamps,
// or support for sparse files.
//
// The Writer currently provides no support for sparse files.
type Format int

// Constants to identify various tar formats.
const (
	// Deliberately hide the meaning of constants from public API.

				p.arch.Family == sys.PPC64) {
				// Support (R1)(R2) (no scaling) and (R1)(R2*1).
				p.errorf("%s doesn't support scaled register format", p.arch.Name)
			} else {
				a.Scale = int16(scale)
			}
		}
		p.get(')')
	} else if scale != 0 {
		if p.arch.Family == sys.ARM64 {
			p.errorf("arm64 doesn't support scaled register format")
		}

This behavior was backported to Go 1.19.8+ and Go 1.20.3+.

Go 1.21 adds the support of Multipath TCP but it is only used if the application
explicitly asked for it. This behavior can be controlled by the
[`multipathtcp` setting](/pkg/net#Dialer.SetMultipathTCP).

There is no plan to remove any of these settings.

### Go 1.20

Go 1.20 introduced support for rejecting insecure paths in tar and zip archives,

	MOVMW 4(R3), R4                 // b8830004


	// Verify supported bdnz/bdz encodings.
	BC 16,0,0(PC)                   // BC $16, CR0LT, 0(PC) // 42000000
	BDNZ 0(PC)                      // 42000000
	BDZ 0(PC)                       // 42400000
	BC 18,0,0(PC)                   // BC $18, CR0LT, 0(PC) // 42400000

	// Verify the supported forms of bcclr[l]
	BC $20,CR0LT,$1,LR              // 4e800820

<p>
Constant expressions are always evaluated exactly; intermediate values and the
constants themselves may require precision significantly larger than supported
by any predeclared type in the language. The following are legal declarations:

// will be linked in from libgcc which make several R_PPC64_TOC16_DS
// relocations which may not be resolvable with the internal linker.

## Supported Versions

We support the past two Go releases (for example, Go 1.17.x and Go 1.18.x when Go 1.18.x is the latest stable release).

See https://go.dev/wiki/Go-Release-Cycle and in particular the
[Release Maintenance](https://go.dev/wiki/Go-Release-Cycle#release-maintenance)
part of that page.

## Reporting a Vulnerability

<!-- go.dev/issue/64207 -->
As [announced](go1.22#darwin) in the Go 1.22 release notes,
Go 1.23 requires macOS 11 Big Sur or later;
support for previous versions has been discontinued.

### Wasm {#wasm}

<!-- go.dev/issue/63718 -->
The `go_wasip1_wasm_exec` script in `GOROOT/misc/wasm` has dropped support
